Fetal echocardiography
Disease Information
Overview
A fetal echocardiography is an ultrasound test performed on a pregnant woman to evaluate the heart of her unborn baby.
Fetal heart abnormalities that are detected before birth allow doctors to plan for medical or surgical intervention once the baby is born. This improves the chance of survival after delivery for babies with serious heart defects.
